Overview

  • Judge Leopoldo Puente has authorized UCO agents to enter PSOE headquarters in Ferraz to clone the corporate email of Santos Cerdán.
  • Investigators simultaneously accessed the Transport Ministry, Adif and the Directorate-General for Roads to retrieve documents related to contracts steered by Cerdán, José Luis Ábalos and Koldo García.
  • The Supreme Court has charged Santos Cerdán, scheduled his testimony for June 30 and permitted a financial sweep of his assets and nearly 500 bank accounts.
  • Five entrepreneurs have been cited as suspects and inquiries have been extended to former Adif chief Isabel Pardo de Vera and ex-Director of Roads Javier Herrera.
  • Coalition allies are voicing doubts over the PSOE’s integrity as opposition parties press for Sánchez’s resignation or an early general election.
